Good question, however on the EmacsWiki it says Magit is the most popular front end for Git. If you are new to Git and do not need support for other vcs this is likely the package you should try first. [1] so I don't think it is obsolete in general. That must refer to the particular version, or something else. Besides it doesn't matter if something is "obsolete" as long as it works and is beneficial to the user.
